Toall whom t may concern.

Be it known that I, WILLIAM RALPH TURNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State ofr Missourihavein vented a certainnew and useful Improvement in Roll-Paper-Pasting Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention. relatesto improvements in roll paper pasting machines.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide novel means for applying pasteito the upper side of a strip of paper drawn horizontally ofi' from a paper. roll, Such as a roll of wall paper. v

A further object of my invention is the provision of pasting means of the kind described which is simple, cheapgto manufacture, durable, not liable to get out of order, whichv can be efficiently operated by an unskilled person and which may be conveniently used in -connection with an ordinary pasting board. l e

`A further object of my invention is to provide novel means by which-paper drawn from a roll may be'accurately measured and positioned for severing into strips of desired length. l I f c My invention provides still further a novel paper supportingtable provided with a cutting groove in its upper surface ar-` ranged to cooperate*with fgraduations on a pasting board. i

My invention providesv further a table having novel means for ksupporting and holding froml lateral 'movement one end of a pasting board.

AMy invention provides still furthernovel means V:for supporting a roll of paper vin `con tact ywith a pasting roller arranged so that when paper is withdrawn from the roll, Vthe latter will be lpressed against an adjacent pasting roller. The` novel hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing, which yillustrates thepreferred embodiment ofmy invention, 1 f a Figi-is a sideelevation, partly broken away, of my improved pasting machine, shown supportingzone` end of la pasting board.k Y Fig; 2 is Ia top viewof the same,

Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view on the line 3 3 of Fig. y A

features of my invention are Fig. 4 is fa vertical sectional view on the broken line 4-4of Fig. l. y v Similar reference characters' ,designate similar parts in the different views.v

1 designates a paste receptacle, `which as shown, -is a rectangular box in which `is rotatably mounted on a horizontal axis a pasting roller 2, which extends into the paste,

and which is provided ,with :a central hori- Zontal shaft 4, having projecting lends mounted in vertical recesses 5, Fig. 4pro- .vided in the upper ends of two blocks 6, se-

cured respectively tothe inner sidesl of the end walls of the receptaclel. y

' Two npright members comprising two legs of a table are secured y at their volwer ends .'to opposite ends respectively of the receptacle 1. To the upper ends ofthe legs7 is Secured a table 4top 8, which isalso supip'orted at its under side bytwobrackets 9, respectively Secured to the legs? `and which extend to the left. as viewed in Figs.y 1 to 3,

' of the adjacent edge of the table top. 8,` and which are adapted to' support one end of an ordinary pasting board 10, which/may be provided on its under side with two-,vertical holes adapted .to respectively` receive. twovertical pins 11, whichV extend,v .upwardly kfrom the projecting portions ofthebrackets 9, and which hold the board 1,0,..`fron1flateral orhorizontal movement.; Theother end .of the kboard 10 may be Supipfortedin anysuitable manner by means not shown.

:The upper side of the table to-p 8 is provided vvi-th a transverse groove12, at right angles to .the 'board 10, and arranged to serve asthe zero mark in cofoperation with a longitudinal row o-f graduations 13, Ywith ywhich-the upper side of the boardlO may kDI be provided, as vshown in Fig. 2. The

groove 12'i's adaptedto receive ,a knife blade,

.notshowm `'Which'may be used for'fseveringv aVstr'ip of paper 14, which` maybe drawn from a roll ofpaper 15"across the groove l2,- ancl longitudinally along the pasting board'lO. vvg'.

l `:For Vsupporting the paper roll 15, thereis provided a swinging' framel comprising, preferably',l two bars 16, pivoted Aintermediate ,of their ends onahorizontal axis par-y allel ywith the shaft4,.and which may coun.

. prise two pins 17, which exten-dthrough the bars 16 respectively andare-mounted inthe plegs 'i'.k L f The paper roll 15 is, yasuslkial, provided with a central longitudinal hole in which are adapted to he fitted conical blocks 18, Fig. 4, through which extends a horizontal removable rod 19, which has its ends removably fitted in the barsl at one side of the axis thereof.

The frame is provided at its upper end and at the other side ofthe axis thereof with paper bearing means comprising preferably a roller 20, secured on aV horizontal rod 21, having projecting ends which are preferably loosely rotatably mounted in the bars 16 respectively.

In the operation of mly invention, the paper is drawn from the roll 15, over and against the roller 20, and against the pastin roller 2. and over the groove 12, and onto the pasting board 10, to the graduation of the row 13, which indicates the length of strip desired to be severed. A suitable knife blade is then drawn through vthe groove 12, and through the overlying strip of paper 14, thus severing the strip.

When the strip of paper 14 is drawn along the top. of the pasting board 10, in the man- I ner just described, the pressure of the paper against the roller 2O will press the bars 16 so as to hold the periphery of the roll of paper 15 tightly against the paste covered periphery of the pasting roller 2.l

What I claim is v 1. In a roll paper pasting machine, a paste receptacle, a pasting roller rotatable in said receptacle, a table having a top and two legs, the latter being' attached to opposite sides respectively of said receptacle and the top having in its upper side a groove adapted to receive a cutting knife, and a paper roll supporting frame pivoted to the. legs of the table and having a roller adjacent to itsy upper end, and Vprovided adjacent to its lower end with means for supporting a paper roll in contact with the periphery of the pasting roller, the axes of said rollers and said groove being parallel with each other, the arrangement being such that when the paper from the roll is drawn over the frame roller and Said groove, the frame will hold the paper roll against said pasting roller, substantially as set forth.

2. In ia roll paper pasting machine, a
